minus-squareoakey66@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26arrow-down1·4 months agoI hate these articles because this same plot line has been reported by media for almost a decade. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-white-victimhood-fuels-republican-politics/ https://www.salon.com/2016/06/06/the_politics_of_bigotry_donald_trump_and_the_rise_of_white_racial_victimhood/ This has been the narrative. But media loves horse race politics so they operate like both sides have a point which gives us white victimhood. Snake eating its tail.
